Fender repair fixture
I'm looking for some ideas for building a fixture to hold a Model A fender (front and back; which could be different fixtures) while it is being repaired. I'd think that over the years there have been some nice ones made.
I didn't want to steal the other thread "Fender Paint Stands", http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76010. Quote:
What else is out there or what do you have? |

Re: Fender repair fixture
When I did the fenders on the coupe, I took a 2x6 and cut a curve to match the frame rails and bolted the fenders to that. I think I may make one out of steel this time.

Re: Fender repair fixture
here is some pictures of what I put together years ago the front fender jig is made to rotate and it is set up to handle 28-29 & 30-31 front fender I can install an original front fender bracket when needed or just use the up right shown in the picture. the head unbolts and I have two other jigs for the rear fender one for coupe the other for sedan.

Re: Fender repair fixture
Here is a link to the ones that I made. They worked out well. I learned the hard way about trying to restore fenders that are either not on the car or on a fixture with CORRECT dimensions.

Do you make a jig, well how many fenders do you plan on doing? It is a bit of work to make a good jig. For one car you are better off doing it on the frame after you make it level, flat and with properly positioned running boards. Here is a link to my comments on fenders Fender fix'n |

I have a pile of fenders; which I'd like to do something with. The fixture that I'm thinking about building will probably incorporate some of you what you have shown and I'd like to also include station buck information into it as well; which even though more complicated, would save space of two items for each fender. I suppose that with radius gauges and a flexible shape pattern I could get by with a simple fixture. |
